I think more games could/should include female options (as they are options), but Infinity Ward does not need to pat themselves on the back as though they are standing up for gamers (particularly females). It's a bunch of assets. You either put them in the game or you don't. You let the player play that female option or your don't. It did not take a political movement to make this happen and it could have happened long ago.

meh. I never got into the COD cult. But most RPGs allow for character customization for years; male and female characters. Why it has taken this long considering how successful the franchise has been is beyond me. Maybe laziness?

I still have no desire to jump into the series even if they have a dog in the game. I can play Dragon Age and get a dog to fight with me. LOL I called my dog Garrus.

Also @wtopez, I usually prefer playing a female character in my role playing games. If a guy hits on you because of your character than he has problems. It should not matter what gender you choose in games. This isn't reality.

Now with girl characters in the game all the girls looking to stand out with there "girlgamer92", "Codgirl123", and "shooterzgurl445" names cos they love the attention they get from the guys can get even more lol , its sad the way guys on COD flirt with every girl they hear on mic but i also think its sad that some girls feel the need to point out they are a girl in the game in the first place, girl gamers are not that rare i had about 120 girls in my wow guild alone , my wife games and i know of about 60 or so in real life that play games as well.
